Because the parameters of the business logic should not be in the code. The parameters should be part of the configuration, to be administered by the administrators (i.e. the DBAs) and not by the database developers. In traditional large database shops, that is the division of responsibility, and the inability to work in that way will hamper Postgres adoption in that environment. (Maybe we don't care, but let's at least be honest that changing the culture of such database shops is not something we're going to achieve quickly.)
